In the Sustainable Mobility Project 2.0, WBCSD has developed a globally applicable process to support cities developing integrated sustainable urban mobility plans. It is a data-driven multi-stakeholder approach with the vision to accelerate progress towards multimodal, inclusive and low-environmental impact mobility in cities.

Solutions are derived from a database of best practices, including the necessary enablers of implementation (financial mechanisms, policy, behavior etc) Implementing trials and stakeholder engagement help to develop measures to make the solutions practical. This process has been tested in six cities worldwide (Chengdu, Bangkok, Indore, Hamburg, Lisbon and Campinas) and been greatly appreciated. Various outputs have come in addition to the tailored mobility plans such as nation-wide recommendation of filtering lanes in India, introduction of flexible working time, park and ride, shuttles sharing, traffic flow management as pilots in Bangkok, first citizen survey in Campinas in 20 years, Hamburg has expressed its will to additionally consider SMP recommendations for its Clean Air plan when further developing its policy to promote EV, PHV and Fuel Cell vehicles and buses and related services etc.

In 2016, we are communicating the outcomes of the project and defining the processes that will allow spreading the implementation of SMP2.0 methodology and use of the tools across the world. You can contact us if you are interested in implementing SMP2.0.

Happening in our cities

Campinas rolls out a new bike lane and wide pedestrian sidewalk

During the Labour day celebration, the municipal authorities of Campinas roll out a new bike lane as well as major road maintenance on Baden Powell avenue in the Jardim Nova Europa area. Such a new bike lane, which crosses the road longitudinally and is 1.7 km long and 2.5 meters wide, is a two-way road with sidewalks on both sides to promote walking and running. It is worthwhile noting that during evening/night time the new bike lane is equipped with a photovoltaic lightening system. The Baden Powell bike lane is part of a broader cycling scheme ("Cicloviva") within the Sustainable Mobility Plan of Campinas municipality.

Title: European launch of Toyota’s Fuel Cell Vehicle in Hamburg, one of the SMP demonstrator cities

Date: October 2015

One of the selected solutions of Hamburg was the support and improved framework conditions for alternative powered cars such as electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and fuel cell vehicles. This video shows the commitment of the city and the favourable framework conditions for fuel cell technology in Hamburg.

Indicators

SMP2.0 has developed a set of indicators to support cities measuring their sustainable mobility performances. The Sustainable Mobility Indicators provide cities with a practical tool to constitute a fact-based and holistic diagnosis of their mobility system, monitor its evolution over time and evaluate the impact of selected solutions.

An online calculation tool combined with a solution finder is being developed and will be available online by the summer.
